To clarify: you want to oppose people using your software to illegally spy on people by making it illegal for them to use it? Shouldn't they be indifferent to such limitations? Isn't spying software a commodity anyway, with your software not optimized for the task?
I should have written in grandparent that I realize that some applications of the technique will tend to cause more harm than good, and left it at that. I just did not want to come across as clueless or uncaring about the harms.
It is not in general illegal in the U.S. for employers to monitor their employers, and your comment made me realize that I should see if I can apply monitoring software marketed to employers before writing my own software.
Almost certainly. I know that such software is popular on things like oDesk, etc.
